54andcounting 627 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Whyte could 'walk with nothing'Owner claims he is willing to do what is best for RangersLast Updated: April 2, 2012 6:28pmCraig Whyte: Claims he would be willing to walk away from Rangers with nothingRangers owner Craig Whyte claims he will gladly walk away from Ibrox 'with nothing' if it serves the administration-hit club's best interests.The Motherwell-born businessman bought out Sir David Murray's85.3% shareholding last May for £1, but the initial feel-good factor disappeared in February when the club entered administration over alleged non-payment of £9million in PAYE and VAT taxes, accrued following Whyte's takeover.Since then there has been much turmoil in Govan not least when it emerged that Whyte was able to fund his takeover by selling future season tickets to Ticketus, a partnership which ultimately raked in £30.5million and which left the investment firm a key player as administrators Duff and Phelps search for new owners.DeadlineBlue Knights, headed by former Rangers director Paul Murray, American investors Club 9 Sports and a Singapore-based group are all expected to make formal bids for the club by Wednesday, the deadline set by the administrators before they choose a preferred bidder.Whyte is bemused at being described by the administrators last month as 'absolutely irrelevant' to their efforts to sell the club but is willing to smooth the way for his successor or successors, in the right circumstances."They can describe me this way if they like, but I would disagree with it," he said. "I am still the owner."But I am willing to walk away if it is for the good of the club. I wouldn't make anything out of it."I have £30 million in cash and guarantees on the line but I would walk away if it is best for Rangers."I have been in touch with a couple of bidders. If I can help any of them I will."Whyte has little time for Murray but it is unlikely that he would try to prevent the Blue Knights being nominated as the preferred bidder.No problem"We have never seen eye to eye," said Whyte, who is in regular contact with the administrators."I haven't spoken to him since last May. He is one of the old board. I don't see what he brings to the party."But there are some good guys in the Blue Knights and I've spoken to a couple of them, and I have no problem with them."People will put their bids in by Wednesday and we will see what happens.Now Fuck off then.

ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The cunt should be walking away with nothing, he put nothing in. He should hand his shares over to the Rangers fans, since it was our money he spent/sold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason whatsoever that that can't happen."Liquidation is no good for Rangers, it will end 140 years of history"I can understand why some people might think it is a good idea but we have to keep Rangers alive."And there is absolutely no reason why a CVA can't happen."

southcoastbear 1,638 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hope he has slipped up and lands himself in clink and loses his money for this little performance at rangers, would serve him right. Also where's rangers money gone, has gone all quiet on that front, wasn't there supposed to be a report either now or very soon as to the money situation. Think it was six weeks they said, must be that by now feels like months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevotrueblue 381 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 What I dont get is why he keeps insisting on saying he is up for 30mil in securities,,, that must be the tickus cash loan he's on about ,,, so if HE IS up for that why are they trying to get that back from the club ????

Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 This £30m if true, that would cover the bulk of the money owed to Ticketus, so really they should be chasing him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
